The inner turmoils of an Imperial hive world are laid bare in Dan Abnetts next Black Library novel, Hive – a story of brittle order and simmering chaos, as Sacramentus deals with the death of one planetary governor and the crowning of the next.

Pitiless patrols of the Adeptus Arbites roam the streets, and rival gangs war for territory as whispers of rebellion drift upwards from the darkness of the Neg. Society teeters on a knife-edge. Will anarchy claim the hive, or will the Imperiums loyal citizens step back from the abyss?
